Yes!! That is what my logical brain tells me. If I am not losing now, why would I lose if I eat another 200 calories/day?

Most days I drink 64 ounces.

Tortilla chips.......I count them. I believe the serving size is 14 or so. My weight is holding strong at 164.....usually within a half pound either way.

So, you are saying 1400 calories/day. But you are also saying that I "definitely do not need to be eating more". Please explain.

No, I have been exercising daily for a year. Prior to that, I did not exercise at all. I have an office job, so up to a year ago, very little exercise. I am more defined, not so much a muffin-top, etc. from a year ago, but only down 3 pounds. I did the entire T25 program religiously and even did double workouts several…

With a measuring cup, a tablespoon, and a scale!!

It wouldn't be of any benefit to me to lie about my caloric intake. With the fat I have, I hardly think I am in starvation mode.....whatever that means!! Ha!! My food diary is accurate, hence the confusion.

Did you gain initially when you added those 300 calories? I don't need it to fall off fast. But, I am not seeing any progress. It just seems to me that since I am working out more than I ever have in my life, I should be losing weight. I am so confused!!

YES! I measure practically everything!!

Yes, I measure everything....my granola, my salad dressing, my mayo, my salad, bacon bits, etc.. I just started logging on Monday, but have been counting calories for about a month. I am pretty consistent with 1000-1200. The days I hit 1200 I usually intentionally eat something just to get there. I am not hungry at 1000…

I opened up my diary. It is not psychological....I love to eat. That is why I am where I am. I just can't eat like I once was able to eat and I have gained about 10-15 lbs over the last 2 years or so. I have read a ton on this website and that is why I know everyone will tell me to eat more, but i don't want to gain…
